Logical independence evaluation: Bank employees’ strike notice vs. Central Government employees ending demonstrations — classify as cause, effect, or independent effects.

Given data

• I: Employees of the biggest bank announce an indefinite strike starting on the 3rd of next month.
• II: Central Government employees withdraw their week-long demonstrations.

Concept/Approach

• Different sectors, different unions, different contexts → likely separate triggers.

Step-by-Step reasoning
1) Bank strike (I) is an effect of bank-sector grievances.2) Government staff ending protests (II) is an effect of separate negotiations.3) No logical or temporal necessity that one causes the other → they are effects of independent causes.

Verification/Alternative

• No evidence that (I) influenced (II) or vice versa; audiences, employers, and demands differ.

Common pitfalls

• Inferring causal links between contemporaneous labor events.

Final Answer
Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes.
